Passing marks or the minimum marks required to clear the examination is not the same as the cut-off marks. The minimum passing marks are specified before the examinations are conducted, but the cut-off marks are announced only after the examination is over. The cut-off marks change from year to year because several factors affect the process of determining the cut-off. The Cut off marks are set taking into account different factors like the number of candidates who appeared for the examination, Total seats available, the difficulty level of the Examination, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Process_to_check_the_UPSC_CDS_Cut_Off\"><\/span><strong>Process to check the&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>UPSC CDS Cut Off<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Commission will release the&nbsp;<strong>UPSC CDS Cut Off&nbsp;<\/strong>marks on their official website once the examination process is over.

The <strong>UPSC CDS Cut Off&nbsp;<\/strong>depends upon different factors, including the no. of students appearing for the examination, difficulty level, vacancies, and others. These factors finally contribute to the Cut off and students securing above the declared cut-off are qualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commission does not issue a cut-off for the 5-day SSB. The final marks are released once the entire process, including the Written Examination, SSB Interview, and medical examination, is over. Following are the factors that are considered while deciding&nbsp;<strong>UPSC CDS cut off:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Number of Vacancies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of vacancies to be filled plays an important role in the cut-off being high or low. In case the number of vacancies is high, the cut-off marks would be lower. But, if there are only a few vacancies, the cut-off marks will be higher because competition will increase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Number of Candidates appearing for the Examination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The higher the number of candidates appearing for the examination, the cut-off too will go up. If the number of candidates appearing is less, then the cut-off will also be lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Difficulty Level of the Examination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The level of difficulty of the examination question paper also affects the calculations of the cut-off marks. The more difficult the questions are, the lower will the cut-off marks be, whereas an easier question paper will have higher cut-off marks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Previous year cut off trends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous year&#8217;s cut-off plays an important role in deciding the current cut-off marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The applicants securing marks above the declared cut-off are called for an SSB Interview followed by a Medical exam of the recommended candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"UPSC_CDS_Cut_Off_for_Written_Examination\"><\/span><strong>UPSC CDS Cut Off<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;Written Examination<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Candidates must score the minimum qualifying marks in each subject that is 20%.<\/strong><\/li><li>Candidates need to score the minimum aggregate cut-off marks to qualify for the written examination.<\/li><li>Candidates who qualify for the Written exam are called for the SSB Round.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"UPSC_CDS_Cut_Off_for_SSB_Interview\"><\/span><strong>UPSC CDS Cut Off<\/strong><strong> for&nbsp;SSB Interview<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>SSB Interview is held for the candidates who qualify for the Written examination.<\/li><li>SSB Interview is a two-stage selection process.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Stage 1:&nbsp;<\/strong>It comprises of Officer Intelligence Rating tests and Picture Perception Description Test.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Stage 2:&nbsp;<\/strong>It comprises interviews, psychology tests, Group Testing Officer Tasks, and the Conference.<\/li><li>To qualify for SSB Interview, candidates must score the minimum qualifying marks.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"UPSC_CDS_Cut_Off_for_Final_Selection\"><\/span><strong>UPSC CDS Cut Off<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;for Final Selection<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The Final cut-off is declared based on written exam and SSB Interview marks.<\/li><li>CDS final cut-off is decided based on the marks scored by the last recommended candidates.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expected_UPSC_CDS_Cut_Off_CDS_Cut_off_2021\"><\/span><strong>Expected&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>UPSC CDS Cut Off <\/strong><strong>CDS Cut off 2021<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Academy<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Written Exam<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Final Exam<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IMA<\/td><td>120 \u2013&nbsp;130<\/td><td>245 \u2013&nbsp;255<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>INA&nbsp;<\/td><td>105 \u2013&nbsp;120<\/td><td>233 \u2013&nbsp;245<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AFA&nbsp;<\/td><td>145 \u2013&nbsp;150<\/td><td>268 \u2013&nbsp;270<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OTA for men<\/td><td>73 \u2013&nbsp;85<\/td><td>162 \u2013&nbsp;170<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OTA for women<\/td><td>74 \u2013&nbsp;85<\/td><td>164 \u2013 170<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/bank-exams\/?ref=ContTM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prepare for UPSC CDS Exam Here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are an aspirant for UPSC CDS, a tentative idea of the cut-off will be to your advantage as it will help you prepare for the examination with a certain target in mind.
